GunnLeif Merl II 27VIII/5 — Þars ‘will be there’

‘Þrjá klekr hann unga         því hreiðri í;
eigi es hegra kyn         hugþekkt firum.
Þars vargr ok bjǫrn         ok at vísu refr
slœgr ok sínum         sjaldan verr alinn.

‘Hann klekr þrjá unga í því hreiðri; kyn hegra es eigi hugþekkt firum. Þars vargr ok bjǫrn ok at vísu refr slœgr ok sjaldan alinn verr sínum.

‘It will hatch three young in that nest; the offspring of the heron is not loved by men. A wolf will be there, also a bear and assuredly a fox sly and seldom born [one] worse to its own [kind].
